Abstract

Abstract: Research Tools can be defined as vehicles that broadly facilitate

research and related activities. Scientific tools enable researchers to collect,

organize, analyze, visualize and publicized research outputs. Dr. Nader has

collected over 700 tools that enable students to follow the correct path in

research and to ultimately produce high-quality research outputs with more

accuracy and efficiency. It is assembled as an interactive Web-based mindmap, titled Research Tools,which is updated periodically.

Research Tools consists of a hierarchical set of nodes. It has four main

nodes: (1) Searching the literature, (2) Writing a paper, (3) Targeting suitable

journals, and (4) Enhancing visibility and impact of the research. Several free

tools can be found in the child nodes. In this workshop some tools as examples

from the part 4 (Enhancing visibility and impact of the research) will bedescribed. The e-skills learned from the workshop are useful across various

research disciplines and research institutions.

Why citation is important?

In the Times Higher Education World University Rankings system Citations research

influence (worth 30 per cent).

Citations are widely recognised as a strong indicator of the significance and relevance that is, the impact of a

piece of research.

However, citation data must be used with care as citation rates can vary between subjects and time periods.

For example, papers in the life sciences tend to be cited more frequently than those published in the social

sciences.

The rankings this year use normalised citation impact, where the citations to each paper are compared with theaverage number of citations received by all papers published in the same field and year. So a paper with a relative

citation impact of 2.0 is cited twice as frequently as the average for similar papers.

The data were extracted from the Thomson Reuters resource known as Web of Science, the largest and most

comprehensive database of research citations available.

Its authoritative and multidisciplinary content covers more than 11,600 of the highest-impact journals worldwide.

The benchmarking exercise is carried out on an exact level across 251 subject areas for each year in the period

2004 to 2008.

For institutions that produce few papers, the relative citation impact may be significantly influenced by one or twohighly cited papers and therefore it does not accurately reflect their typical performance. However, institutions

publishing fewer than 50 papers a year have been excluded from the rankings.

There are occasions where a groundbreaking academic paper is so influential as to drive the citation counts to

extreme levels receiving thousands of citations. An institution that contributes to one of these papers will

receive a significant and noticeable boost to its citation impact, and this reflects such institutions' contribution to

globally significant research projects.

Optimize Title/Abstract

Step 1: Construct a clear, descriptive title

In search engine terms, the title of your article is the

most interesting element. The search engine assumes

that the title contains all of the important words that

define the topic of the piece and thus weights wordsappearing there most heavily.

Step 2: Reiterate key phrases

The next most important field is the text of the abstractitself. You should reiterate the key words or phrases from

the title within the abstract itself.

Titles: be simple and specific

Use active rather than passive verbs.

Avoid words that dont add to the story such as: on this, study,

and investigation.

Be specific in delivering your message:

Not every reader may know what Akt and Foxo1 are, but the title isdeclarative and specific. But dont betoospecific.

When possible, avoid acronyms and other jargon, which renders the

title opaque to readers not already conversant in the field.

Avoid question marks: titles should present outcomes, without

teasing the reader. Focus on what is novel in the work.

Avoid complex, compound nouns. For example, the term excess

Target Suitable Journal

https://www.mindmeister.com/39583892/research-tools-by-nader-ale-ebrahim


46/73

Strategies to increase citations

Target a journal with a high impact factor, or, in fact, with any impact factor

at all!

Choose a new, rapidly growing field of research. Articles on hot topics tend

to cite much more recent references than those in more traditional fields.

Target journals in rapidly growing research fields because they tend to

publish papers with a short time interval from submission to acceptance. Write research articles, technical notes and reviews. For the purposes of

calculating citations, these are considered citable items. Editorials, letters,

news items and meeting abstracts are non-citable items.

Write reviews in addition to research papers. Reviews are more likely to be

cited than original research papers.

Write at length. Longer articles are cited more often.

47/73

Open Access Journal

One key request of researchers across the world

is unrestricted access to research publications.

Open access gives a worldwide audience larger

than that of any subscription-based journal andthus increases the visibility and impact of

published works. It also enhances indexing,

retrieval power and eliminates the need for

permissions to reproduce and distribute content.

Why should you share links to your published work online?

2016-2017 Nader AleEbrahim

According to Dr Melissa Terras

from the University College

London Centre for Digital

Humanities, If you tell people

about your research, they lookat it. Your research will get

looked at more than papers

which are not promoted via

social media (2012).

Academic blogging is part of a complex

online academic attention

Just like a taller, more powerful radio tower willboost a signal so it can be heard at a greaterdistance; it makes sense that more people willread a paper if the writer is active on socialmedia. Of course, because we wrote it, wethink its great that our paper has proved sopopular, but we have to ask: in the future, willthe highest quality papers be read most? Or willit be only those papers backed up by theloudest voices?
